Util-linux 2.22 Release Notes [Sep 4, 2012]
===========================================

 The cryptoloop support in the commands mount(8) and losetup(8) is DEPRECATED.
 This is the last release where encryption= mount option and -e,-E,--encryption
 losetup options are supported.

Release highlights
------------------

partx(8):
  - the default output has been changed, the legacy output was deprecated for
    more than 1 year. Users who depend on the old output format have to use
    --list command line option.

mount(8), umount(8), swapon(8), blkid(8) and findmnt(8):
  - supports PARTUUID= and PARTLABEL= tags to specify block devices by partition
    UUID or LABEL (for example for UEFI GPT). These tags are filesystem
    independent and provide persistent configuration (your /etc/fstab setting 
    will not be affected by mkfs/mkswap changes).

dmesg(1):
  - reads kernel messages from /dev/kmsg on kernel 3.5
  - supports new option --follow to wait for new messages  (kernel 3.5 required)
  - supports new option --reltime to print human readable deltas

su(1):
  - has been merged from coreutils into util-linux

sulogin(8):
  - has been merged from sysvinit into util-linux

utmpdump(1):
  - has been merged from sysvinit into util-linux

eject(1):
  - has been merged from inactive upstream from sf.net and Fedora into util-linux
  - supports new options --manualeject, --force and --no-partitions-unmount

lslocks(1)
  - this NEW COMMAND prints local system locks and it's replacement to very 
    long time unmaintained lslk(1)
 
wdctl(8):
  - this NEW COMMAND shows hardware watchdog status

mount(8):
  - pure libmount based mount(8) and umount(8) command are ENABLED BY DEFAULT
  - the old mount(8) and umount(8) implementation is DEPRECATED
  - the hybrid mount(8) [old mount linked with libmount] is not supported anymore
  - supports new command line options --source and --target to avoid ambivalent
    interpretation if only one argument is given

swapon(8):
  - supports new option --show to print information about swaps in definable
    format

findmnt(8):
  - supports new option --task <pid> to print private task mount table
  - supports new option --df to imitate df(1)

fdisk(8)
  - does not print geometry in 'p'rint output in non-DOS mode

libuuid:
  - does NOT EXECUTE uuidd on demand, the daemon has to be started by 
    init scripts / systemd

uuidd:
  - supports socket activation (for systemd)
  - supports new options -no-fork, --no-pid and --socket-activation

flock(1):
  - supports new option --conflict-exit-code to specify return code

fsck(8):
  - supports new option -r to report memory and runtime statistics

lsblk(8):
  - supports inverse trees (new option -s) 

losetup(8):
  - supports option --detach-all to detach all loop devices


build-system changes:
  - login(1) enabled by default (see --disable-login)
  - partx(8) enabled by default (see --disable-partx)
  - kill(1) enabled by default (see --disable-kill)
  - new non-recursive build-system

0-day bug requests aren't generally useful.  please don't do that in the future.
Comment 2 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2012-09-06 16:41:14 UTC
2.22 is in the tree now and absorbs eject and some of sysvinit
